Atlanta, GA – June 4, 2012 – The United Sprint Car Series Outlaw Thunder
Tour presented by Goodyear and Filtercharged by K&N Filters for winged
sprint cars and the www.RockAuto.com USCS 600 Sprint Car Series for winged
mini/micro sprints will both invade the famed 4/10 mile high-banked red clay
oval at East Alabama Motor Speedway in Phenix City, Alabama, scheduled
originally for this Friday and Saturday, June 15th and 16th for the 15th
Annual “Alabama Sprint Car Nationals”.
The East Alabama Motor Speedway sprint car shootout including the 5th annual
Randy Helton Memorial on Saturday night features a full winged sprint car
and 600cc winged mini sprint racing format both nights. Friday night’s
20-lap sprint car feature pays $1200 to the first driver to reach the
www.RockAuto.com victory lane. Saturday’s Randy Helton Memorial finale pays
$2000 to win the main event. The mini sprint features pay $400 to win on
Friday and $500 to win on Saturday night with a bonus of $100 posted to any
driver that can win on both nights.
The event will award National points as well as points toward the USCS
presented by Goodyear Southern Thunder regional series Championship.
Additionally the USCS sprint car race serves as a bonus Championship point
opportunity for the USCS Mid South Thunder Tour regional series. Drivers may
toss out a lesser Mid South Thunder Tour regional series event and replace
it with a better feature race points finish in the East Alabama Motor
Speedway event.
Then eighteen year-old 2010 USCS presented by Goodyear Rookie of the Year,
Morgan Turpen from Oakland, Tennessee claimed her career-first USCS sprint
car win in the 2011 version of the (4th annual ) Randy Helton Memorial at
